== (Equal) (SSIS Expression)

Performs a comparison to determine if two expressions are equal. The expression evaluator automatically converts many data types before it performs the comparison. For more information, see Implicit Data Type Conversion in Expressions.

However, some data types require that the expression include an explicit cast before the expression can be evaluated successfully. For more information about legal casts between data types, see Cast (SSIS Expression): Convert SSIS Data Types.

Syntax


expression1 == expression2

Arguments

  • expression1, expression2
    Is any valid expression.

Result Types

DT_BOOL

Remarks

If either expression in the comparison is null, the comparison result is null. If both expressions are null, the result is null.

The expression set, expression1 and expression2, must follow one of these rules:

  • Numeric   Both expression1 and expression2 must be a numeric data type. The intersection of the data types must be a numeric data type, as specified in the rules about the implicit numeric conversions that the expression evaluator performs. The intersection of the two numeric data types cannot be null. For more information, see Implicit Data Type Conversion in Expressions.

  • Character   Both expression1 and expression2 must evaluate to either a DT_STR or a DT_WSTR data type. The two expressions can evaluate to different string data types.

    Note

    String comparisons are case, accent, kana, and width-sensitive.

  • Date, Time, or Date/Time   Both expression1 and expression2 must evaluate to one of the following data types: DT_DBDATE, DT_DATE, DT_DBTIME, DT_DBTIME2, DT_DBTIMESTAMP, DT_DBTIMESTAMP2, DT_DBTIMESTAPMOFFSET, or DT_FILETIME.

    Note

    The system does not support comparisons between an expression that evaluates to a time data type and an expression that evaluates to either a date or a date/time data type. The system generates an error.

    When comparing the expressions, the system applies the following conversion rules in the order listed:

    • When the two expressions evaluate to the same data type, a comparison of that data type is performed.

    • If one expression is a DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET data type, the other expression is implicitly converted to DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET and a DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET comparison is performed. For more information, see Integration Services Data Types in Expressions.

    • If one expression is a DT_DBTIMESTAMP2 data type, the other expression is implicitly converted to DT_DBTIMESTAMP2 and a DT_DBTIMESTAMP2 comparison is performed.

    • If one expression is a DT_DBTIME2 data type, the other expression is implicitly converted to DT_DBTIME2, and a DT_DBTIME2 comparison is performed.

    • If one expression is of a type other than DT_DBTIMESTAMPOFFSET, DT_DBTIMESTAMP2, or DT_DBTIME2, the expressions are converted to the DT_DBTIMESTAMP data type before they are compared.

    When comparing the expressions, the system makes the following assumptions:

    • If each expression is a data type that includes fractional seconds, the system assumes that the data type with the least number of digits for fractional seconds has zeros for the remaining digits.

    • If each expression is a date data type, but only one has a time zone offset, the system assumes that the date data type without the time zone offset is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  • Logical   Both expression1 and expression2 must evaluate to a Boolean.

  • GUID   Both expression1 and expression2 must evaluate to the DT_GUID data type.

  • Binary   Both expression1 and expression2 must evaluate to the DT_BYTES data type.

  • BLOB   Both expression1 and expression2 must evaluate to the same Binary Large Object Block (BLOB) data type: DT_TEXT, DT_NTEXT, or DT_IMAGE.

Examples

This example evaluates to TRUE if the current date is July 4, 2003. For more information, see GETDATE (SSIS Expression).

"7/4/2003" == GETDATE()

This example evaluates to TRUE if the value in the ListPrice column is 500.

ListPrice == 500

This example uses the variable LPrice. It evaluates to TRUE if the value of LPrice is 500. The data type of the variable must be numeric for the expression to parse successfully.

@LPrice == 500
